Hurt - MichaelTrent Reznor

I
hurt myself
today
to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real.


The needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away
but I remember
everything .


What have I become?
My sweetest friend ..
Everyone I know
Goes away
In the end.

And you can have it all -
My Empire of Dirt -

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts -
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time -
the feelings disappear.
You are someone else -
I am still right here.


What have I become?
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
goes away
in the end.
And you could have it all
My Empire of Dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
a million miles away..

I would keep myself
I would find a way
